LinkedIn removed transgender-related protections from its policy on hateful and derogatory content. The platform no longer lists “misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” as examples of prohibited conduct.
Similarly, the platform removed “race or gender identity” from its examples of inherent traits for which negative comments are considered harassment.
Make the switch from Microsoft before the Windows 10 EOL.
My experience with Linux has been annoying, time consuming, and me having to google and code (enter shit in the terminal) to simply download a program. Am I wrong or just stupid, because everyone on this website talks about Linux OSs as the second coming of Christ
by its very nature there will always be more friction doing almost anything in Linux compared to windows or mac os. you’re not wrong or stupid.
it’s not the second coming of christ just a different philosophy of using the computer. i do think that actually knowing how a computer works instead of the hyper convenience of modern OSes is valuable. Hell, using windows by default makes most advanced-nerd-stuff slightly more difficult. With windows and mac (i don’t notice it as much on mac tbh) you also have to work backwards to de-bloat the systems which is wrong.
here’s my searing take that would fix this: communism. Under my regime a tech company would make the one operating system and it would be all the best parts of dedicated support and convenience found in closed source OSes while not doing all the bloat stuff. yes it would be open source but it would be so good you’d never experience what you did
Yeah I guess I’ve always stuck at the basic nerd level because that’s all I’ve needed. Using windows for decades, I know the file and drive system inside and out (compared to mac), and I’ve never needed to go beyond that, so disabling cortana or whatever has never been that big an issue. Obviously W11 looks like hell for ads and apps and bullshit, but I still don’t know if I’m brave enough to fully shift over. Distro recs?
The Mint distro is basically Windows. Super easy to use in my experience.
Edit: but I like using the terminal…
i use mac lol. years ago ubuntu was the easiest to set up for me. Anytime I’m using linux it’s actually exclusively in a terminal for deployment related stuff or personal projects where I set up remote servers etc. I think anyone being able to turn on computers and use them without knowing is a miracle I just wish that tech ghouls didn’t own them. Not everyone needs or wants to know how to code. So my recommendation is whichever one suits your needs. pick the distro with proven least-friction
What distro are you using btw? Even one of the more tame ones like mint will have a learning curve but trust me, it’s well worth it.
I think I tried mint or ubuntu before my old laptop bricked
They both have an app store which is basically point and click unless you are doing something more advanced
Probably got the distro wrong, it was a while ago
